TCP Tuesday #361 Layer Up!!

Hey there crafty peeps!   I'm joining my fellow Cat Packers as we begin a new TCP Tuesday Challenge!  This month, our challenge is all about LAYERS.  So come on, Layer it up!  Join the fun and play along.  You have the whole month to join in on the fun for your chance to win a $50 gift certificate to the TCP store.  Just make sure to post a project to our blog post.  Don't have any TCP products YET, no problem!  Our challenge is open to all designs.  

I played the Layer It challenge with my diecut image- I layered the color, the paper, the paint and the embellies.  Can you spy all those layers?  The die "Snowglobe Duo Die" is a perfect die for layering.  I started out by diecutting the snowglobe image and then used some Leisure Art waterbased markers to create a watercolor background on a piece of cardstock that would be placed behind the diecut.  After watercoloring, I layered that panel, the diecut and the framed portion of the die (I trimmed it to create a stand-alone frame).  

After assembling the "snowglobe", I started working on the fun wintery background.  I used my Gel Press and pressed some white pigment ink onto the plate.  Next, I used the snowflake dies to press into the ink-onto the Gelli Plate- to create a muted snowflake background.  After that, I peeled the teal panel off the Gelli Plate and flicked white acrylic paint and sparkly ink onto the panel.  

To finish my card off, I added some fun iridescent sequins onto the panel and mounted this snowy scene onto a white card base. I added some winter snowflakes to add more layering fun! 

Thanks for hopping over to check out my card.  I hope it inspires you to create something layer-icious!
